DISRUPTIVE AI TECHNOLOGIES

Visy ADDS

Automatic container damage detection that inspects every container with AI, at every entry point, without interrupting the flow.

Every container AI-inspected. Every damage detected. Every claim backed by digital evidence.

Automatic container damage detection | ADDS 2.0

Automatic container damage detection – Visy ADDS 2.0 redefines inspection with a next-generation AI model built on Deep Neural Network architecture. The system inspects containers in real time, whether during truck flow through detection portals, crane operations, or rail traffic, detecting structural and surface damage automatically and without disrupting container flow.

When damage exceeds the configured threshold, the system instantly alerts operators with precise location data and severity scoring. Exceptions are automatically directed to manual review, while routine inspections are handled continuously and automatically, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

ADDS 2.0 integrates seamlessly with the full Visy OCR suite, including Truck and Rail OCR Portals, Crane OCR, and TopView systems, delivering unified container identification and damage detection across gate, quay, and rail operations.

Holes
Structural breaches in container walls or roofs that compromise cargo integrity and weatherproofing. Detected and located automatically, with severity scoring to prioritize the most critical cases for immediate attention.


Air-conditioning covers
Missing or damaged air-conditioning covers are detected and flagged – ensuring containers meet the required condition standards before entering the terminal.

Bulges

Outward deformations in container walls indicating structural stress or internal damage. Bulges are identified and scored automatically, supporting decisions on whether a container is fit for transportation.

Dents

Surface and structural dents across all container sides are detected and documented with precise location data – providing clear, timestamped evidence for liability and claim management purposes.

Bent door bars

Damaged or bent door locking bars are flagged automatically – identifying containers that may pose a security or cargo safety risk before they enter or leave the terminal.

Open / damaged door handles

Containers with open or damaged door handles are detected in real time, preventing cargo security issues and ensuring containers meet condition requirements before departure.

Rust / scratches

Surface corrosion and scratches are detected and documented across all container sides – providing a complete condition record at the point of arrival.

Where others glance, we see everything.

Automatic damage detection across dents, holes, rust, bent door bars and more

Built-in 0–100 damage scoring with configurable alert thresholds

Real-time alerts with damage class, location and severity data

Operates 24/7 across gate, quay and rail without interrupting traffic flow

AI engine trained on your site’s own traffic data for optimal accuracy

ADDS 2.0 doesn’t just detect damage – it augments human decision-making. Routine inspections are handled automatically, so your team can focus on the cases that actually need their attention. When an alert fires, operators get a clear image, damage location and a score – everything needed to make a fast, confident call.

The system is configured to your operation from the ground up. Damage sensitivity thresholds, alert rules and exception handling are set per damage class and container side, ensuring the system flags what matters to your business and processes the rest automatically.

Unlike static inspection systems, ADDS 2.0 is a long-term solution. The AI engine is continuously refined using real-world data from your site, and Visy’s experts work directly with your team to adjust damage classes, scoring and detection rules as your needs evolve.

Every deployment is configured to fit your operations.

Hardware & System
ADDS is compatible with the full Visy OCR imaging suite: Truck OCR Portals with line scan and area cameras, Crane OCR with PTZ cameras, Visy TopView for roof inspection, and Visy Train OCR Portal for rail traffic. The system is deployed at the imaging point and processes container images in real time at the point of capture.
Software & Applications
Damage events, images, location data and scoring are displayed in real time directly within the Visy Access Gate interface, giving operators everything they need to review and act on alerts without switching between systems. Confirmed damage cases are flagged for exception handling – whether that means directing a truck to a manual inspection lane, preventing a container from entering a vessel or routing it to a repair station. All event data is stored and available for claims management and reporting.
Integrations
ADDS 2.0 integrates with Visy Access Gate GOS for a fully unified gate, quay and rail platform, or delivers complete OCR and damage data directly to your in-house GOS or TOS via API. Container ID, damage class, location, severity score and overall damage score are transferred per event.
Configurations & Options
Damage classes, sensitivity thresholds and alert rules are configured per site and per customer requirements. Select from Visy’s standard damage class library and set scoring thresholds per container side and damage type with the help of Visy experts.

The AI engine is trained on your site’s own traffic data during an initial calibration period, accounting for your unique operating environment – camera placements, lighting conditions, container mix and traffic patterns – to ensure detection accuracy is optimized for your specific setup
